Home care services

Home care services can help with cleaning and household tasks, as well as personal care. Help with personal care can include support with dressing, washing and bathing.

Home care services must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) if they offer personal care services. Before choosing a care agency you should check they are registered. You may also want to know how much they charge and what services they offer. The UK Home Care Association also has details of care agencies which have chosen to be a member of their association.
